CINCINNATI — The Bearcats football program cracked another finalist list this week as a top-ten team for three-star 2024 wide receiver Shamar Rigby out of Lakewood (Florida).

South Florida, Vanderbilt, Iowa State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Kansas State, Kentucky, Indiana, and Nebraska are also candidates.

According to 247Sports, Rigby is the 118th-ranked receiver nationally and the 103rd-best player in Florida.

He's racked up over 15 more offers since Cincinnati extended one this past February.

Rigby is a long outside receiver at 6-foot-4, 175 pounds. He can high-point big-time throws downfield and has great body control when he goes to the ground finishing catches.

He mostly lined up outside on the clips I saw with some trips bunch formations featuring him in the middle. Rigby has nice feet and release skills on his longer developing routes that afford him plenty of separation later in the route. He should be an instant deep-ball threat for any team he chooses.

The yards-after-catch skills need some work as he doesn't break many tackles on film, but that could grow as he adds muscle over the next few years. He's a long strider though that's hard to keep up with once he gets behind the safety line.
